Religious Crisis Looms as Banner Declaring “Jesus Christ Is Not God” Spotted At Lagos Mosque 

A controversial banner bearing the inscription “Jesus Christ Is Not God” mounted at a prominent mosque in Lagos has ignited widespread backlash among Nigerian Christians, fueling debates about religious tolerance and mutual respect in the country.

The banner, spotted at the mosque’s premises, quickly went viral on social media, drawing heated reactions and condemnation. Many Christians, especially on X (formerly Twitter), expressed their dismay at what they perceived as a provocative and disrespectful act against their faith.

Reverend Harrison Ayintete, a prominent Christian leader, was among those who publicly denounced the display. In a strongly worded statement, he criticized the banner, highlighting the potential dangers of such actions in Nigeria’s fragile religious climate.

Reverend Harrison Ayintete wrote: “If a major church dares put a sign invalidating Muhammad on their billboard, maybe some Christians would have lost their lives this morning, but this is happening, and nothing will ever happen because the Holy Spirit given to Christians is God’s Spirit of love and forgiveness.”

Read the full statement below:

I am aware this is the banner at a prominent mosque in Lagos.

1. I like the bold concept at sharing their ‘truth’.

The powerful thing about Islam is their radicalism, their unfettered clarity of purpose, their reproductive capacity to raise children and families after their world view.

Unlike Christians, true Muslims have no tolerance for political correctness or lukewarmness, they are indoctrinated to recite the Quran and taught to live their lives from the root of their beliefs.

On the other hand, Christians are often weak about their faith, often political in reasoning, often lack the spine for doctrinal defense and often feel the need for inclusion without the courage for truth.

2. Islamism has nothing to say without Christianity. If they don’t fight Christianity, they have no purpose of themselves.

You won’t find Muhammad in the Bible, you will find Jesus in the Quran.

The writers of Quran were smart enough to take credibility from many bible accounts to solidify their religion and create a spirituality within it.

Islam is a well formed religion that has woven itself properly into the fabric of mankind. Their festivals, their prayer routines, their dreams for Mecca, their attempts at holiness and for the extremists, their radicalism to kill others and themselves for their faith, are powerful combinations that makes the religion a self-thriving machinery.

The Bible doesn’t recognize the Quran, clearly because the Quran is an aftermath religion created to react to Christianity, years after the ascension of Jesus and the massive expansion of the Christian faith.

As it is with reactionary movements, they lack substance without the object to which they are reacting.

They spend most of their efforts debunking the incarnation, debunking the Godhead of Christ, the gospel of salvation through faith in Christ etc

It doesn’t take long before you know which faith is the true faith and which one is a reaction to the true faith.

3. The tolerance we speak about as elites is often exemplified in Christianity. You don’t hear of Christians killing Muslims today (though it is agreed that the Roman Catholic Church led crusades against Islamic worlds supposing their are fighting for God), what you hear is Muslims killing Christians, stoning us etc

Christians don’t focus on Muhammad or Allah, we focus on the faith in Christ Jesus, same faith we have seen through the scriptures from our father Abraham, while Muslims are angry about that faith and do their best to invalidate it.

Again, one is a reality, the other is a reaction to reality.

If a major church dares put a sign invalidating Muhammad on their billboard, maybe some Christians would have lost their lives this morning but this is happening and nothing will ever happen because the Holy Spirit given to Christians is God’s Spirit of love and forgiveness.

Again, it doesn’t take much study to know the true faith and the other ‘faith’ which is just a reaction to the true ‘faith’.

In any case, Asalam Alekun to everyone in this season of Christmas ❤️🙏
